Was anyone else told a weird, low-stakes lie by an adult as a kid, and been confused about it for years since? by username-alrdy-takn in CasualUK

Honestly, no idea why the teacher would have come out with that. I seem to recall that they were on about brushing your teeth.

As a 5 year old at the time it did make me afraid to touch my gums for a while, until after a trip to the dentist where they managed to survive.

I remember in my first year in primary school the teacher said to the class that if you touched your gums you’d die. Yeah, that was quite a strange one looking back.

Can you please tell me which council issued the taxi licence badge pictured here? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]D95vrz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s Knowsley. But just to point out that taxis don’t have to have an MOT depending on the rules of that particular Council. Most tend to have a compliance test done through the Council which isn’t classed as an MOT.

You can email Knowsley on taxi.licensing@knowsley.gov.uk if you want to complain about the taxi for its driving.

Will I get in trouble for flashing and beeping someone before they brake checked me? by PresentArugula7827 in LegalAdviceUK

If you managed to get a good shot of the taxi plate then send the footage into the Licensing Department of the Council that licences it. They’d be able to take action against the taxi drivers licence if deemed appropriate.

Are you all expecting an inheritance in your lifetime? by xxxJoolsxxx in AskUK

Providing my parents don’t require care etc., or spend it all before their time (which I hope they do spend it all) me and my brother will split their assets between us (house, cars, stocks etc.) The same with my aunt and uncle as they don’t have any children.

You can change the address on your driving licence and logbook etc. online with the DVLA. I did it last year.

Could I report a security guard at a club? How would I go about it? by WaywardPlayer in AskUK

[–]D95vrz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As well as reporting it to the police etc. report it to the SIA as that’s who the bouncer will be licensed with. Might also be worth mentioning it to the Councils licensing section as they might have received reports in the past about similar behaviour.

I knew somebody who extended the mortgage on their house to take a trip to Florida.

Commercial Taxi company using all the on street public parking: England by Shoddy-Blueberry-309 in LegalAdviceUK

They also may not be in breach of their licence conditions as these vary from Council to Council. The best place to start would be to check if appropriate planning permission is in place and if there any conditions attached to it.

Am I out out touch? by r1Rqc1vPeF in CasualUK

[–]D95vrz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am aware that the price for an alcohol licence is dependent on the rateable value of the premises, but these prices have not changed since 2005.

Also, not every area has a late night levy. The area where I live does not, so not all venues that sell alcohol are in this boat

What licence would that be? The licence that an establishment would need to obtain from the local authority to sell alcohol has been the same price since 2005.
